2Authored explanation
The set \[ \{(0,0),(0,1),(0,3),(0,4),(1,6),(2,6),(5,5),(5,6),(6,3),(6,4)\} \] has ten points. Checking its \(\binom{10}{3}=120\) triples shows that the three squared distances in each triple are different. This proves \(I_7\geq10\).
Form a 3-uniform hypergraph on the 49 grid points. An unordered triple is a hyperedge exactly when two of its three squared distances agree. This definition includes equally spaced collinear triples. Direct enumeration gives 2,488 hyperedges, and valid point sets are precisely the independent sets of this hypergraph.
The executable certificate enumerates every increasing eleven-element candidate. A branch is rejected when its new point completes a hyperedge with two selected points. The search reaches no depth-eleven leaf. Since the condition passes to subsets, every valid set with at least eleven points would contain an independent eleven-set. Hence \(I_7\leq10\), and \[ I_7=10. \]
PatternBoost reports the same value \(f(7)=10\) under its explicitly stated possibly-flat convention. Its authors used SAT solvers to prove optimality for small grids. The independent certificate here reproduces the seven-by-seven case.
